Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomNot related to the property itself, but car parking is difficult - no free parking close by, and 24-h parking costs about £25.
Room was good size for a family (3 adults). Water, tea-making facilities and even two bottles of prosecco were waiting for us. Great location, close to the York cathedral. Breakfast was rich, with English and continental breakfast available. Owners very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomWhen we were a sleep, a few other guest were coming back and made loads of noise and woke us up. (Again I know its not the staff flaut) But again they signs up everywhere saying be quite to our other guests. Apart from that, no complains. They gone up and beyond.
The room was lovely and clean and the staff couldn't have ask for more. My son injured his leg a few days before so is in a moonboot and the staff were so nice. I ask for an ice pack and no questions ask I got one and when he needed a new one again, no questions ask just swoop them. It's like a 10 minute walk(maybe faster with out moonboot) into center and you have a local Sainsbury's just 1 minute walk end of the street if you want snacks. After you check out if your not leaving for a few hours, the staff keep your bags and watch them for you. The staff are all lovely and just couldn't be more helpful.

United KingdomMy only niggle was the lighting in the room which was either the bright main light or two tiny reading lights. It would be good to have a lamp of some sort.
Perfectly located for exploring York and only a couple of minutes from the Minster, so easy to find. The room was clean and comfortable with soft, cosy bedding. The staff were friendly and helpful but not intrusive.

United StatesSeveral short flights of steps from the front door back to our building - difficult to lug our heavy suitcase. Ok, that's reaching; there really wasn't anything not to like.
Convenient location - 15 min walk from train station, 5 minute walk to medieval town. Spotless and comfortable; room was larger than expected. We opted for the continental breakfast; because there were no pastries, they made scrambled eggs for us. Staff were extremely responsive and engaging - very willing to accommodate our needs.
